ABSTRACT

In Rome, Abbot Suger behaved like a Roman, eschewing innovation in favour of repair, conservation, and the reiteration of art and architectural tradition. It is likely that one or more members of the Curia were delegated to oversee the pope's art and architectural projects, supervising them outright or in liaison with the abbot, archpriest, canons or monks who were in charge of individual churches. Innocent's Curia contained many learned men, including former monks of Monte Cassino, Cluny, Clairvaux, and Gorze. According to Boso, Innocent II was honourably buried in the Lateran church in a wonderfully made porphyry conch. Michael Borgolte questioned the political interpretation, pointing out that it is not known when the sarcophagus was taken to the Lateran, it could have been sometime before the revival of the senate, nor who moved it into the cathedral. The artistic patronage of Pope Innocent II is almost universally assumed to illustrate his imperialisation of the papacy.
